90
00:04:12,552 --> 00:04:13,553
LABORATORY.

91
00:04:13,553 --> 00:04:15,455
EVERY DAY WE ARE ANSWERING BIG

92
00:04:15,455 --> 00:04:17,090
QUESTIONS ABOUT EARTH, SPACE,

93
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:18,391
WHERE WE CAME FROM AND WHERE WE

94
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:19,592
ARE GOING.

95
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:22,128
ONE CATEGORY ARE HUMAN RESEARCH,

96
00:04:22,128 --> 00:04:25,164
EXPERIMENTS ON OUR HUMAN BODY,

97
00:04:25,164 --> 00:04:27,567
ONE OF THE RECENT ONES I HAVE

98
00:04:27,567 --> 00:04:29,502
BEEN A PART OF IS AIRWAY

99
00:04:29,502 --> 00:04:30,737
MONITORING.

100
00:04:30,737 --> 00:04:32,138
THIS IS LOOKING AT AIRWAY

101
00:04:32,138 --> 00:04:34,040
INFLAMMATION IN SPACE.

102
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,675
WHEN WE ARE BREATHING THE AIR,

103
00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:37,276
THEY DON'T JUST FALL TO THE

104
00:04:37,276 --> 00:04:39,412
GROUND LIKE DUST ON THE GROUND.

105
00:04:39,412 --> 00:04:41,614
WE TEND TO INHALE MORE FINE

106
00:04:41,614 --> 00:04:43,216
PARTICLES THAN WE WOULD ON

107
00:04:43,216 --> 00:04:44,550
EARTH.

108
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:47,954
SO LOOKING AT OUR BODY'S

109
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:53,493
RESPONSE TO THAT BY MEASURING

110
00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:54,794
IT.

111
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:57,530
UNDERSTANDING HOW DOES OUR BODY

112
00:04:57,530 --> 00:04:59,332
REACT TO THE AIR WHEN WE TALK

113
00:04:59,332 --> 00:05:01,067
ABOUT GOING BACK TO THE MOON, A

114
00:05:01,067 --> 00:05:03,269
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT THE

115
00:05:03,269 --> 00:05:05,071
MOON DUST IS A FINE PARTICLE,

116
00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:09,208
ALMOST LIKE POWDERED SUGAR.

117
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:10,643
WE ARE BREATHING THAT FOR MONTHS

118
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:12,945
ON END IF WE ARE DOING EXTENDED

119
00:05:12,945 --> 00:05:15,381
STAYS ON THE LUNAR SURFACE.

120
00:05:15,381 --> 00:05:17,583
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT

121
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:21,120
AFFECTS THE HUMAN BODY.

122
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:31,230
>> THE ASTRONAUTS AND COSMONAUTS

123
00:05:31,230 --> 00:05:32,732
ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE

124
00:05:32,732 --> 00:05:34,634
STATION SERVE AS THE LABORATORY

125
00:05:34,634 --> 00:05:36,469
ASSISTANTS FOR RESEARCHERS ON

126
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:38,071
EARTH LOOKING INTO A WIDE RANGE

127
00:05:38,071 --> 00:05:40,373
OF SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS,

128
00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:41,607
INCLUDING SOME WE'LL HAVE TO

129
00:05:41,607 --> 00:05:43,409
MASTER IN ORDERER TO RETURN

130
00:05:43,409 --> 00:05:45,244
AMERICAN ASTRONAUTS TO THE MOON

131
00:05:45,244 --> 00:05:48,548
BY 2024 AS PART OF THE ARTEMIS

132
00:05:48,548 --> 00:05:49,549
PROGRAM.

133
00:05:49,549 --> 00:05:50,583
IT WILL BE CRITICAL TO

134
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:52,985
UNDERSTAND HOW TO INTERACT WITH

135
00:05:52,985 --> 00:05:55,221
THE FINE PARTICLES OF DUST THAT

136
00:05:55,221 --> 00:05:57,023
COVER THE MOON'S SURFACE.

137
00:05:57,023 --> 00:06:01,360
WE ARE USING THE HERMES FACILITY

138
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,763
TO STUDY HOW THE PARTICLES MOVE

139
00:06:03,763 --> 00:06:06,999
IN MICROGRAVITY OVER A LONG

140
00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:07,900
PERIOD OF TIME.

141
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:10,937
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE MOON, YOU

142
00:06:10,937 --> 00:06:13,940
LOOK AT THIS FINE PARTICLES OF

143
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:15,975
DUST THAT COVERS THE SURFACE.

144
00:06:15,975 --> 00:06:21,013
THE SOLAR SYSTEM IS DYNAMIC.

145
00:06:21,013 --> 00:06:23,116
THE SURFACE IS GETTING BOMBARDED

146
00:06:23,116 --> 00:06:25,151
ALL THE TIME, SO YOU HAVE THE

147
00:06:25,151 --> 00:06:28,054
FINE LAYER OF FRAGMENTS.

148
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:30,123
WHY WOULD WE WANT TO STUDY IT ON

149
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:31,724
THE SPACE STATION.

150
00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:33,226
THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST IN

151
00:06:33,226 --> 00:06:36,963
SENDING ASTRONAUTS TO ASTEROIDS.

152
00:06:36,963 --> 00:06:39,265
SO EVERY TIME WE VISIT THEM, WE

153
00:06:39,265 --> 00:06:40,900
LEARN MORE AND MORE.

154
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,402
THERE IS DIVERSE BODIES.

155
00:06:43,402 --> 00:06:44,137
THEY ARE DIFFERENT.

156
00:06:44,137 --> 00:06:45,438
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO

157
00:06:45,438 --> 00:06:47,240
INTERACT WITH THE SURFACE.

158
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,675
IF YOU ARE GOING ANCHOR TO THE

159
00:06:49,675 --> 00:06:54,614
SURFACE OF THE ASTEROID, WE NEED

160
00:06:54,614 --> 00:07:00,052
KNOW HOW TO INTERACT WITH THEM.

161
00:07:00,052 --> 00:07:04,390
THEY HAVE MICROGRAVITY.

162
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:09,829
THERE IS A TUBE ABOUT THE SIZE

163
00:07:09,829 --> 00:07:13,232
PRINGEL'S CAN.

164
00:07:13,232 --> 00:07:14,567
WE ARE GETTING THE MOVEMENT OF

165
00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:15,568
THESE PARTICLES.

166
00:07:15,568 --> 00:07:18,971
OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR, WE'LL

167
00:07:18,971 --> 00:07:21,007
GET THIS TIME LAPSE IMAGERY OF

168
00:07:21,007 --> 00:07:22,708
THE PARTICLES MOVING.

169
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:24,243
WE ARE LOOKING AT THE LONG-TERM

170
00:07:24,243 --> 00:07:27,647
EFFECTS OF MICROGRAVITY.

171
00:07:27,647 --> 00:07:29,515
SOMETHING WE HAVE ON ASTEROIDS

172
00:07:29,515 --> 00:07:31,217
IS VACUUM.

173
00:07:31,217 --> 00:07:33,619
WE WANT TO EXPOSE OUR

174
00:07:33,619 --> 00:07:35,755
INSTRUMENTS TO THE VACUUM OF

175
00:07:35,755 --> 00:07:37,857
SPACE.

176
00:07:37,857 --> 00:07:40,593
WE DID CASSETTE ONE.

177
00:07:40,593 --> 00:07:43,529
THE IDEA IS THEY WILL BE OPEN TO

178
00:07:43,529 --> 00:07:46,032
OTHER INVESTIGATORS.

179
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:50,369
THEY WILL DO RESEARCH.

180
00:07:50,369 --> 00:07:50,937
WE THINK THAT INTERNATIONAL

181
00:07:50,937 --> 00:07:51,504
SPACE STATION IS A WONDERFUL

182
00:07:51,504 --> 00:07:54,807
PLACE TO STUDY THAT, TO STUDY

183
00:07:54,807 --> 00:07:59,846
THE LUNAR REGULUS.

184
00:07:59,846 --> 00:08:03,249
WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE.

185
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:09,822
>> FOR FUTURE MISSIONS, LIKE

186
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:11,824
GOING BACK TO THE MOON BY 2024

187
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:13,860
AND THEN ON OUT INTO THE SOLAR

188
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:17,663
SYSTEM, BIOMINING COULD OFFER A

189
00:08:17,663 --> 00:08:19,899
WAY FOR CREWS TO OBTAIN NEEDED

190
00:08:19,899 --> 00:08:22,401
MATERIALS ON OTHER PLANETARY

191
00:08:22,401 --> 00:08:24,036

00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:30,009
BUT THEY INTERACT DIFFERENTLY

193
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:32,411
OUTSIDE OF EARTH'S GRAVITY.

194
00:08:32,411 --> 00:08:33,846
THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION ON THE

195
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:34,747
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION THAT

196
00:08:34,747 --> 00:08:37,550
IS STUDYING HOW MICROBES GROW ON

197
00:08:37,550 --> 00:08:39,285
AND HOW THEY INTERACT WITH

198
00:08:39,285 --> 00:08:42,321
PLANETARY ROCKS IN MICROGRAVITY

199
00:08:42,321 --> 00:08:47,326
AND IN SIMULATED MARTIAN

200
00:08:47,326 --> 00:08:48,261
GRAVITY.

201
00:08:48,261 --> 00:08:49,061
>> THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE

202
00:08:49,061 --> 00:08:51,163
STATION WILL SOON HOST SOME OF

203
00:08:51,163 --> 00:08:54,000
THE SMALLEST MINERS IN THE

204
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,036
UNIVERSE, MICROBES.

205
00:08:57,036 --> 00:08:57,937
MICROBES GROWING ON THE SURFACE

206
00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:00,539
OF ROCKS CAN BREAK THEM DOWN AND

207
00:09:00,539 --> 00:09:02,975
EXTRACT USEFUL MINERALS AND

208
00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:04,277
METALS.

209
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:05,678
THIS IS A PROCESS CALLED

210
00:09:05,678 --> 00:09:07,413
BIOMINING.

211
00:09:07,413 --> 00:09:09,215
AS WE EXPLORE SPACE WE ARE

212
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:12,351
SEEKING TO USE BIOMINING TO TURN

213
00:09:12,351 --> 00:09:15,054
ROCK INTO SOIL FOR GROWING

214
00:09:15,054 --> 00:09:16,789
PLANTS AND FOOD.

215
00:09:16,789 --> 00:09:18,391
BEFORE WE CAN USE THIS

216
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:20,626
TECHNIQUE, WE FIRST NEED TO TEST

217
00:09:20,626 --> 00:09:26,565
IT IN SPACE.

218
00:09:26,565 --> 00:09:27,667
ON THE SPACE STATION,

219
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:29,702
BIOREACTORS WILL BE PLACED

220
00:09:29,702 --> 00:09:32,939
INSIDE A CENTRIFUGE WHERE

221
00:09:32,939 --> 00:09:37,076
MICROBES WILL GROW IN SIMULATED

222
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:40,513
MARTIAN GRAVITY.

223
00:09:40,513 --> 00:09:42,515
INVESTIGATORS WILL EXAMINE HOW

224
00:09:42,515 --> 00:09:45,518
THREE TYPES OF MICROBES BEHAVE

225
00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:49,155
WITHIN PIECES OF BASALT AND

226
00:09:49,155 --> 00:09:51,891
EVALUATE HOW THEY EXTRACT

227
00:09:51,891 --> 00:09:54,293
ELEMENTS FROM THE ROCKS.

228
00:09:54,293 --> 00:09:56,429
THE FINDINGS WILL BE COMPARED TO

229
00:09:56,429 --> 00:09:57,930
GROUND BASED RESULTS.

230
00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:04,570
WE HOPE TO GAIN INSIGHTS INTO

231
00:10:04,570 --> 00:10:07,707
HOW MICROBES INTERACT WITH ROCKS

232
00:10:07,707 --> 00:10:10,109
IN MICROGRAVITY AND HOW WE MIGHT

233
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:12,044
USE THEM IN OUR EXPLORATION OF

234
00:10:12,044 --> 00:10:14,547
DEEP SPACE.

235
00:10:14,547 --> 00:10:24,724

264
00:11:32,458 --> 00:11:34,693
TO BE ON SpaceX 14.

265
00:11:34,693 --> 00:11:36,796
A WEEK BEFORE LAUNCH OUR PROJECT

266
00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:39,031
GOT CANCELED BECAUSE OF ISSUES

267
00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:41,434
WITH THE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.

268
00:11:41,434 --> 00:11:43,035

00:11:45,971 --> 00:11:47,773
AND EXECUTED, SOMETIMES THEY GET

272
00:11:47,773 --> 00:11:50,309
IN THE WAY OF LAUNCHING ON TIME.

273
00:11:50,309 --> 00:11:52,111
WHEN EQUIPMENT USED TO HOUSE THE

274
00:11:52,111 --> 00:11:54,346
EXPERIMENT DIDN'T LOOK PERFECT

275
00:11:54,346 --> 00:11:56,549
FOR A PREFLIGHT TEST, THERE WAS

00:12:02,088 --> 00:12:05,224
>> IT WASN'T DEVASTATING.

280
00:12:05,224 --> 00:12:07,226
IT WAS JUST SAD THAT WE WEREN'T

281
00:12:07,226 --> 00:12:08,761
ABLE TO LAUNCH.

282
00:12:08,761 --> 00:12:10,763
IT HAD TAKEN US TWO YEARS TO GET

283
00:12:10,763 --> 00:12:11,564
THERE.

284
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:13,699
IT GIVES US SIX MORE TIMES TO

00:12:13,699 --> 00:12:15,801
RE-EVALUATE THAT CONTROL SYSTEM

286
00:12:15,801 --> 00:12:17,303

LEFT BEFORE THEIR EXPERIMENT

292
00:12:28,647 --> 00:12:32,952
WILL BE LOADED INTO A SpaceX

OUR FIRST TIME WORKING AT THE

301
00:12:49,702 --> 00:12:51,203
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER.

302
00:12:51,203 --> 00:12:52,805
IT'S BEEN EXCITING TO SEE THE

00:12:52,805 --> 00:12:54,840
VISITOR CENTER AND LOOK AT THE

304
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,343
TWO OR THREE THINGS, WE GET TO

305
00:12:57,343 --> 00:12:59,378
GET PASSED THE SECURITY GATE AND

306
00:12:59,378 --> 00:13:01,280
INTO THE ACTUAL LABORATORIES.

307
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,916
>> WHILE SOME EXPERIMENTS ARE

308
00:13:03,916 --> 00:13:07,653
LOADED INTO DRAGON WEEKS BEFORE

309
00:13:07,653 --> 00:13:11,690
LAUNCH, OTHERS ARE MORE TIME

310
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:12,591
SENSITIVE.

311
00:13:12,591 --> 00:13:14,193
FOR THOSE SCIENTISTS

312
00:13:14,193 --> 00:13:16,795
LABORATORIES AT THE KENNEDY

313
00:13:16,795 --> 00:13:21,033
SPACE CENTER BECOME A HOME AWAY

314
00:13:21,033 --> 00:13:22,234
FROM HOME.

315
00:13:22,234 --> 00:13:23,369
HERE THEY CAN CARRY OUT THE

316
00:13:23,369 --> 00:13:25,571
CRITICAL LAST STEPS OF PREPARING

317
00:13:25,571 --> 00:13:27,606

319
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:30,743
>> WE GOT HERE ON A THURSDAY AND

320
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:32,344
IT'S CURRENTLY SUNDAY.

321
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:35,581
BIG DAY YESTERDAY FILLING THESE

322
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:37,483
UP WITH GEL SOLUTION AND GETTING

323
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:40,219
READY FOR HANDOVER AT 7:30 A.M.

324
00:13:40,219 --> 00:13:41,620
ON MONDAY.

325
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:43,055
AND LAUNCH ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

326
00:13:43,055 --> 00:13:45,157
>> ONCE YOU ARRIVE HERE, YOU GET

327
00:13:45,157 --> 00:13:47,359
INTO THIS OTHER TIME, IT'S WEIRD

328
00:13:47,359 --> 00:13:50,296
LIKE LITTLE TIME BUBBLE.

329
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:57,036
EVERYTHING IS L-BASED, LAUNCH.

330
00:13:57,036 --> 00:13:58,270
IT'S BUILDING UP TO THE ACTUAL

331
00:13:58,270 --> 00:13:59,371
LAUNCH TIME.

332
00:13:59,371 --> 00:14:01,974
>> BUT THOSE PRECIOUS REMAINING

333
00:14:01,974 --> 00:14:04,510
HOURS, THEY ARE PREPPING THE

334
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,313
MICROPLATES.

335
00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:08,747
THEY ARE USED ON EARTH, BUT

336
00:14:08,747 --> 00:14:10,149
THESE ARE ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO

337
00:14:10,149 --> 00:14:12,284
BE SELF-CONTAINED.

338
00:14:12,284 --> 00:14:16,188
>> THE CHALLENGE ON ORBIT IS

339
00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:19,124
THAT GENERALLY FLUID EXPERIMENTS

340
00:14:19,124 --> 00:14:22,528
HAVE TO BE CONDUCTED IN THE

341
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:24,163
GLOVE BOX.

342
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:29,435
IT'S TIME LIMITED.

343
00:14:29,435 --> 00:14:31,637
WE HAVE DESIGNED THIS TO KEEP

344
00:14:31,637 --> 00:14:33,472
THE FLUIDS INSIDE.

345
00:14:33,472 --> 00:14:38,711
>> WE HAVE THESE CARRYING

346
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:39,612
CLOTHS.

347
00:14:39,612 --> 00:14:41,413
WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE

348
00:14:41,413 --> 00:14:44,550
MICROGRAVITY AND HOW THE RELEASE

349
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:47,353
IS AFFECTED WHEN WE SEND IT TO

350
00:14:47,353 --> 00:14:48,887
THE SPACE STATION.

351
00:14:48,887 --> 00:14:50,189
THE CONCERN THAT WE HAVE IS THAT

352
00:14:50,189 --> 00:14:52,591
WE HAVE BUBBLES THAT ARE IN THE

353
00:14:52,591 --> 00:14:55,427
WELLS, HE IT MAY BE DIFFICULT

354
00:14:55,427 --> 00:14:58,564
FOR THE PLATE READER TO READ THE

355
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:00,065
AMOUNTS CORRECTLY.

356
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:01,967
SO WE ARE BEING CAREFUL WITH HOW

357
00:15:01,967 --> 00:15:04,603
WE ARE LOADING THE WATERS.

358
00:15:04,603 --> 00:15:08,741
>> ONCE THEY FINISH FILLING THE

359
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:11,143
MICROPLATES, I WILL TAKE OVER

360
00:15:11,143 --> 00:15:12,878
AND SEAL THEM UP.

361
00:15:12,878 --> 00:15:14,580
ONCE THAT'S DONE, WE'LL ADD THE

362
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:17,683
LABELS ON TO THE MICROPLATES AND

363
00:15:17,683 --> 00:15:21,120
PUT THEM IN A SELF-CONTAINED BOX

364
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,956
THAT WILL TRAVEL TO THE SPACE

365
00:15:23,956 --> 00:15:25,958
STATION ON.

366
00:15:25,958 --> 00:15:27,593
>> THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING

367
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:29,328
JUST TO GET HERE.

368
00:15:29,328 --> 00:15:35,467
>> ONCE WE DO THAT, WE TURN IT

369
00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:37,303
OVER TO COLD SEAL.

370
00:15:37,303 --> 00:15:39,705
THE NEXT TIME WE'LL SEE THEM,

371
00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:41,540
THEY WILL BE ON ORBIT.

372
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:44,543
>> IT'S THE TEAM RESPONSIBLE FOR

373
00:15:44,543 --> 00:15:46,145
MAKING SURE THAT THE RESEARCH

374
00:15:46,145 --> 00:15:47,446
STAYS AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE

375
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:50,783
ON ITS JOURNEY FROM THE LAB ON

376
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,518
EARTH TO THE LAB IN SPACE.

377
00:15:52,518 --> 00:15:53,719
THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST STEPS

378
00:15:53,719 --> 00:15:56,021
BEFORE BEING LOADED ON TO THE

379
00:15:56,021 --> 00:15:57,056
ROCKET.

380
00:15:57,056 --> 00:15:58,657
THEY WILL TAKE THE EXPERIMENT

381
00:15:58,657 --> 00:16:00,759
AND KEEP IT SAFE AND SOUND

382
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:03,195
BEFORE IT'S LOADED FOR LAUNCH.

383
00:16:03,195 --> 00:16:05,397
>> FEEL LIKE A RELIEF?

384
00:16:05,397 --> 00:16:08,033
>> IT WILL FEEL LIKE A RELIEF

385
00:16:08,033 --> 00:16:10,035
WHEN WE ACTUALLY SEE IT TAKE

386
00:16:10,035 --> 00:16:10,836
OFF.

387
00:16:10,836 --> 00:16:14,473
THEN IT WILL BE FINALLY THERE.

388
00:16:14,473 --> 00:16:16,375
IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS AT THIS

389
00:16:16,375 --> 00:16:17,609
POINT.

390
00:16:17,609 --> 00:16:19,411
IT WILL BE OFFICIALLY OUT OF OUR

391
00:16:19,411 --> 00:16:25,150
HANDS WHEN IT LEAVES THE EARTH'S

392
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:26,085
SURFACE.

393
00:16:26,085 --> 00:16:27,386
THAT WILL BE THE MOMENT WE ARE

394
00:16:27,386 --> 00:16:29,021
FINALLY DONE.

395
00:16:29,021 --> 00:16:30,723
UNTIL WE GET DATA, THEN WE GET

396
00:16:30,723 --> 00:16:32,758
TO PROCESS IT.

397
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:34,860

398
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:36,895
>> SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW IS

399
00:16:36,895 --> 00:16:38,497
NOW THAT WE HAVE HANDED THEM

400
00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:40,632
OVER TO NASA, THEY ARE ON THEIR

401
00:16:40,632 --> 00:16:43,535
WAY OUT TO DRAGON TO BE LOADED.

402
00:16:43,535 --> 00:16:45,537
THE LAUNCH WILL HOPEFULLY HAPPEN

403
00:16:45,537 --> 00:16:46,271
TOMORROW.

404
00:16:46,271 --> 00:16:47,272
I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED SINCE THE

405
00:16:47,272 --> 00:16:48,874
BEGINNING, APPROXIMATELY THREE

406
00:16:48,874 --> 00:16:49,975
YEARS AGO.

407
00:16:49,975 --> 00:16:52,411
IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD.

408
00:16:52,411 --> 00:16:53,912
BUT LIKE EVERYTHING, IT'S A LOT

409
00:16:53,912 --> 00:16:55,247
OF WORK.

410
00:16:55,247 --> 00:16:57,750
IT'S WORTH T WE ARE EXCITED TO

411
00:16:57,750 --> 00:17:00,252
HELP GET DATA FOR THE PROJECT.

412
00:17:00,252 --> 00:17:02,888
>> OVERALL, WE ARE GOING TO GET

413
00:17:02,888 --> 00:17:04,790
A LOT OF DATA FROM THIS ONE

414
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:05,724

INTUITION, IT'S ALWAYS A SPECIAL

422
00:17:26,278 --> 00:17:28,714
THING TO SEE.

423
00:17:28,714 --> 00:17:37,890

426
00:17:40,726 --> 00:17:42,728

00:17:42,728 --> 00:17:44,563
SOME OF THEIR TIME WORKING ON

428
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:46,965

FOOD THAT SOMEBODY MAKES.

505
00:20:55,087 --> 00:20:56,822
AN OVEN.

506
00:20:56,822 --> 00:20:58,023
SOMETHING THAT COMES OUT OF THE

OVEN AND YOU SMELL THOSE SMELLS

508
00:21:00,158 --> 00:21:03,161

509
00:21:03,161 --> 00:21:05,297

IT'S THIS TREMENDOUS FEELING

515
00:21:14,573 --> 00:21:15,974
LIKE SOMEBODY IS PUSHING YOU IN

516
00:21:15,974 --> 00:21:19,011
YOUR BACK AND SHOVING YOU FASTER

517
00:21:19,011 --> 00:21:22,014
AND FASTER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER

518
00:21:22,014 --> 00:21:23,215
INTO THE SKY.

519
00:21:23,215 --> 00:21:25,050
THERE IS A PERIOD OF TIME WHERE

520
00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:28,320
THE ENGINES CHANGE CALLED

521
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,521
STAGING.

522
00:21:29,521 --> 00:21:31,023
THERE IS BUMPINESS AND SHAKING

523
00:21:31,023 --> 00:21:32,557
DURING THOSE PERIODS.

524
00:21:32,557 --> 00:21:34,059
BUT THE REST OF THE EIGHT

525
00:21:34,059 --> 00:21:36,461
MINUTES, NINE MINUTES, IS JUST

526
00:21:36,461 --> 00:21:40,298
LIKE A GIANT FORCE IS THROWING

527
00:21:40,298 --> 00:21:42,934
YOU INTO THE SKY.

528
00:21:42,934 --> 00:21:44,236

00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:50,776
SMELL LIKE?

531
00:21:50,776 --> 00:21:55,914
>> THE SPACE STATION HAS NOT TOO

532
00:21:55,914 --> 00:21:57,115
DIFFERENT SMELLS THAN YOU HAVE

533
00:21:57,115 --> 00:21:59,351
IN A HOME DOWN THERE.

534
00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:01,153
WE TRY TO KEEP OURSELVES CLEAN,

535
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:02,988
WE TRY TO KEEP THE SPACE STATION

536
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:03,588
CLEAN.

537
00:22:03,588 --> 00:22:04,990
TOMORROW IS SATURDAY, THAT'S OUR

538
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:06,091
CLEANING DAY.

539
00:22:06,091 --> 00:22:08,026
WE DO OUR BEST TO KEEP IT NEAT

540
00:22:08,026 --> 00:22:09,528
AND TIDY.

541
00:22:09,528 --> 00:22:11,229
OCCASIONALLY THERE IS SMELLS

542
00:22:11,229 --> 00:22:16,368
WHERE WE HAVE TO CHANGE FLUID, A

543
00:22:16,368 --> 00:22:18,804
LOT OF TIMES THAT HAS TO DO WITH

544
00:22:18,804 --> 00:22:23,041
OUR BODILY FUNCTIONS AND TOILET.

545
00:22:23,041 --> 00:22:24,843
THEY CAN BE SMELLY THERE.

546
00:22:24,843 --> 00:22:27,379
BUT THE SPACE STATION TO ME

547
00:22:27,379 --> 00:22:31,550
SMELLS LIKE A NORMAL HOME.

548
00:22:31,550 --> 00:22:34,753
>> WAS TRAINING TO BE AN

549
00:22:34,753 --> 00:22:36,655
ASTRONAUT HARDER THAN TRAINING

550
00:22:36,655 --> 00:22:38,390
TO BE A NAVY SEAL?

551
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:41,593
>> THE TRAINING TO BE A NAVY

552
00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:43,628
SEAL WAS HARD FOR SIX MONTHS.

553
00:22:43,628 --> 00:22:45,731
TRAINING TO BE AN ASTRONAUT IS A

554
00:22:45,731 --> 00:22:46,965
LONG PROCESS.

555
00:22:46,965 --> 00:22:49,067
IT TAKES MANY YEARS OF HARD

556
00:22:49,067 --> 00:22:50,469
WORK.

557
00:22:50,469 --> 00:22:53,105
AND IT'S MORE ACADEMIC, MORE

558
00:22:53,105 --> 00:22:56,341
HAVING TO DO WITH YOUR BRAIN.

559
00:22:56,341 --> 00:22:58,043
IN SEAL TRAINING WE HAD SOME

560
00:22:58,043 --> 00:23:00,545
ACADEMICS, BUT LARGELY IT WAS A

561
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:01,880
PHYSICAL THING.

562
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,882
SO TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT

563
00:23:03,882 --> 00:23:04,783
PROGRAMS.

564
00:23:04,783 --> 00:23:04,983
OVER.

565
00:23:04,983 --> 00:23:08,320

00:23:10,622 --> 00:23:14,359
WITH UNEXPECTED RESULTS?

568
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,995
>> THAT'S A DETAILED QUESTION.

569
00:23:16,995 --> 00:23:18,296
WE HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIMENTS

570
00:23:18,296 --> 00:23:19,898
GOING ON UP HERE.

571
00:23:19,898 --> 00:23:21,733
BUT ONE, WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED,

572
00:23:21,733 --> 00:23:23,835
WE WERE GROWING SOME PLANTS.

573
00:23:23,835 --> 00:23:25,137
I THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD GROW

574
00:23:25,137 --> 00:23:26,772
MORE THAN THEY DID.

575
00:23:26,772 --> 00:23:28,807
OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL WEEKS

576
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:33,545
THEY WERE JUST A SMALL SPROUT

577
00:23:33,545 --> 00:23:35,680
WHICH SURPRISED ME.

578
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,883
I HAD NEVER SEEN GROWTH IN SPACE

579
00:23:37,883 --> 00:23:39,718
BEFORE ON THE PREVIOUS MISSION.

580
00:23:39,718 --> 00:23:42,320
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING

581
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,656
THAT GET AND GETTING BETTER

582
00:23:44,656 --> 00:23:45,357
RESULTS.

583
00:23:45,357 --> 00:23:47,859
>> HOW SUCCESSFUL IS YOUR 3D

584
00:23:47,859 --> 00:23:50,595
PRINTER ON THE SPACE STATION?

585
00:23:50,595 --> 00:23:52,931
>> THE 3D PRINTER HAS BEEN HERE

586
00:23:52,931 --> 00:23:58,170
SINCE I THINK 2015.

587
00:23:58,170 --> 00:23:59,571
A FEW YEARS.

588
00:23:59,571 --> 00:24:01,473
WE PRINTED MANY PARTS.

589
00:24:01,473 --> 00:24:04,309
WE DON'T HAVE IT DEPLOYED AND

590
00:24:04,309 --> 00:24:05,811
ACTIVE ALL THE TIME.

591
00:24:05,811 --> 00:24:08,046
WHEN WE NEED TO, WE CAN PRINT

592
00:24:08,046 --> 00:24:10,649
WHAT WE NEED IF IT MEETS THE

593
00:24:10,649 --> 00:24:11,883
CRITERIA.

594
00:24:11,883 --> 00:24:13,785
IT'S AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF HAVING

595
00:24:13,785 --> 00:24:15,687
SPARE PARTS IN SPACE.

596
00:24:15,687 --> 00:24:16,188
OVER.

597
00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:17,823
>> THIS IS LUCAS.

598
00:24:17,823 --> 00:24:22,661
HAVE YOU EVER BUILT MODEL

599
00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:25,163
ROCKETS WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG?

600
00:24:25,163 --> 00:24:25,363
OVER.

601
00:24:25,363 --> 00:24:29,835
>> I WISH I DID, BUT I NEVER HAD

602
00:24:29,835 --> 00:24:32,971
A MENTOR IN MY AREA THAT WAS

603
00:24:32,971 --> 00:24:34,973
INVOLVED WITH MODEL ROCKETS.

604
00:24:34,973 --> 00:24:37,008
I NEVER REALLY LAUNCHED A MODEL

605
00:24:37,008 --> 00:24:38,710
ROCKET AS A YOUNG PERSON.

606
00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:40,412
BUT I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT YOU

607
00:24:40,412 --> 00:24:43,849
GUYS DO.

608
00:24:43,849 --> 00:24:44,149
OVER.

609
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:46,785
>> WHAT DOES MICROGRAVITY FEEL

610
00:24:46,785 --> 00:24:50,188
LIKE ON YOUR BODY?

611
00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:50,522
OVER.

612
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:53,525
>> MICROGRAVITY IS MORE A FEEL

613
00:24:53,525 --> 00:24:56,161
OF HOW TO MOVE AROUND.

614
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:58,363
YOUR BODY, IN MY OPINION, FEELS

615
00:24:58,363 --> 00:24:59,764
THE SAME.

616
00:24:59,764 --> 00:25:02,000
EVERYTHING YOU DO, EATING, GOING

617
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,237
TO THE BATHROOM, SLEEPING, YOUR

618
00:25:05,237 --> 00:25:08,540
HAIR GROWING IS VERY NORMAL.

619
00:25:08,540 --> 00:25:08,974
BUT MOVING AROUND IN

620
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:11,576
MICROGRAVITY IS NOT NORMAL.

621
00:25:11,576 --> 00:25:15,113
IT TAKES PRACTICE TO GET USED TO

622
00:25:15,113 --> 00:25:17,315
HOW TO DO IT EFFECTIVELY.

623
00:25:17,315 --> 00:25:17,616
OVER.

624
00:25:17,616 --> 00:25:20,252
>> THIS IS ERIC.

625
00:25:20,252 --> 00:25:22,754
DOES THE EARTH LOOK ANY CLEARER

626
00:25:22,754 --> 00:25:25,690
OR LESS POLLUTED COMPARED TO

627
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:31,863
WHEN YOU FLEW IN 2009 OR 2013?

628
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:32,163
OVER.

629
00:25:32,163 --> 00:25:35,300
>> I FLEW WITH ANOTHER CANADIAN

630
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,702
IN 2009.

631
00:25:37,702 --> 00:25:39,004
THIS IS MY FIRST MISSION IN

632
00:25:39,004 --> 00:25:42,140
SPACE WITHOUT A CANADIAN CREW

633
00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:43,241
MATE.

634
00:25:43,241 --> 00:25:45,377
BUT THE EARTH DOES NOT LOOK ANY

635
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:49,180
DIFFERENT THAN THE PREVIOUS

636
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:50,081
TIME.

637
00:25:50,081 --> 00:25:52,417
MY CREW MATES AND FRIEND HAS

638
00:25:52,417 --> 00:25:54,719
BEEN IN SPACE SEVERAL TIMES.

639
00:25:54,719 --> 00:25:56,554
WE BOTH TRIED TO SEE ANY

640
00:25:56,554 --> 00:25:57,856
DIFFERENCES.

641
00:25:57,856 --> 00:25:59,958
WE CAN'T REALLY TELL WITH OUR

642
00:25:59,958 --> 00:26:00,792
EYES.

643
00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:00,992
OVER.

644
00:26:00,992 --> 00:26:03,495
>> THIS IS SAWER.

645
00:26:03,495 --> 00:26:05,630
DO YOU PLAY ANY GAMES HE WHEN

646
00:26:05,630 --> 00:26:09,334
YOU ARE ON THE ISS?

647
00:26:09,334 --> 00:26:11,169
OVER.

648
00:26:11,169 --> 00:26:12,771
>> WE ARE BUSY PEOPLE.

649
00:26:12,771 --> 00:26:13,872
WE HAVE LOTS OF WORK TO DO

650
00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:14,773
DURING THE DAY.

651
00:26:14,773 --> 00:26:16,708
BY THE TIME NIGHTTIME COMES

652
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,510
AROUND, WE JUST HAVE THE ENERGY

653
00:26:18,510 --> 00:26:21,346
TO EAT AND CLEAN UP FROM OUR DAY

654
00:26:21,346 --> 00:26:24,049
AND PREPARE FOR THE NEXT DAY.

655
00:26:24,049 --> 00:26:25,984
MAYBE MAKE A PHONE CALL OR

656
00:26:25,984 --> 00:26:29,220
SOMETHING OR ANSWER AN E-MAIL.

657
00:26:29,220 --> 00:26:31,156
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO

658
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:32,657
PLAY ANY GAMES.

659
00:26:32,657 --> 00:26:35,193
PROBABLY THE CLOSEST THING TO A

660
00:26:35,193 --> 00:26:37,796
GAME IS SEEING HOW STRAIGHT YOU

661
00:26:37,796 --> 00:26:40,832
CAN FLY WITHOUT CRASHING INTO A

662
00:26:40,832 --> 00:26:42,534
WALL AND HOW FAR YOU CAN GO LIKE

663
00:26:42,534 --> 00:26:43,535
THIS.

664
00:26:43,535 --> 00:26:44,135
OVER.

665
00:26:44,135 --> 00:26:46,371
